SAN JOSE, CA — (Marketwired) — 11/22/16 —
“Xicato and EnOcean have been working together for over a year on this project,” said Menko de Roos, CEO of Xicato. “The almost simultaneous launch of XIM Gen4 and EnOcean–s compatible Bluetooth switch creates instant lighting solutions that meet and transcend building codes to deliver highly customizable, cost-effective, wirelessly controlled lighting environments of all types.”
“Xicato and EnOcean share the commitment to industry leadership in wireless lighting control and the Internet of Things (IoT),” says Dr. Wald Siskens, CEO at EnOcean. “The combination of EnOcean–s energy harvesting wireless switches with the powerful features of the XIM Gen4 allows users to create and control simple or complex lighting scenes and effects, and enables simple, flexible installation of lighting applications. Our solutions enable wireless, maintenance-free control and eliminate the complexity and cost associated with wired or battery-powered wireless solutions.”
Xicato XIM and XTM modules are the light sources of choice for some of the world–s finest museums, retail stores, hotels and residences. XIM Gen4 is available in fixtures from several lighting manufacturers, some of which will be part of the demo in the EnOcean booth. XIM Gen4 can be programmed to respond to any combination of Bluetooth Low Energy switches, motion and lux sensors, and even 1-10V or DALI wired control. Groups, scenes, and “states” are easy to program into the XIM–s themselves, eliminating the need for dedicated hubs or controllers.
Xicato designs and develops light sources and electronics that enable architects, designers and building managers to create beautiful, smart spaces in which people love to live and work. With thousands of installations around the globe, Xicato continues to be a leading supplier of high quality lighting solutions.
